Need advice for long trip on K75RT

I have a K75RT with 21,000 miles on it that I have not had long and know little about. I hope to leave Memphis on the first of July, ride to Winnipeg, then over Hwy 1A to Vancouver, and on down to Salem for the rally. I have a Clymer manual and will do all recommended service before I leave. I have my anonymous book and a BMW tool kit. I will ride on paved roads and hope to find that there will be dealers along the way to help me with any needed parts and repairs. I would like some advice on what I can do before departure to make it more probable that I can make such a trip on such an old bike with few mechanical problems. I know what a wrench is for but I am not one of those guys who can do major mechanical work along side of the road. What spare parts and extra tools should I take along?
I will be camping most nights and have never made such a long motorcycle trip before. I would like any advice that I can get.

Service the bike before you leave and you should be fine.
Make sure your tires are fairly new and check the brake pads.
On our K75s we usually got 60,000 miles out of the front pads and 30,000 miles out of the rear, but some people get less.

I've got a 91 K100LT with over 120K that I wouldn't hesitate to ride long distance. If I were to take it on a long trip I would check the brake pads and tires. Check for loose nuts and bolts. I always carry cables in my bike just in case. I haven't needed them yet. You may also want to check your saddlebag hinges. I had one split on my on a trip once. I now carry extra saddle bag hinges which I haven't needed since I started carrying them. With just 21k on your bike I wouldn't worry about much despite of its age.

2004 R1150RT 151,500 miles , 1991 K100LT 128,000 miles, 1982 R100RT 106,900 miles

The cheapest thing on a BMW is the nut that connects the handlebars to the seat.

I would suggest that you pull the final drive and inspect/lube the splines. My 91 75RT had 30,000 miles when I got it and the rear splines were 50% worn. Don't use any grease that BMW recommends. Guarddog 525 is what a lot of us use.

-Sapre headlight bulb
-Spare tail light bulb
-two extra fuses for every fuse on your bike.
-A way to repair a flat. (small pump and tire plugs...c02 cartridges...)
-a decent assortment of tools. (allen head sockets, a ratchet, screwdrivers, tape, wire, zip ties, some baling wire, a small hacksaw blade, metric sockets, an oil filter wrench, a good length of electrical wire, electrical connectors and the tool to squeeze them, an assortment of metric nuts and bolts a small LED flashlight,...) I use a vinyl 'bank bag' to hold all my tools, and these and lots of other stuff would fit in the tail section of my old K Bike.
-Clutch cable and throttle cable. (if you break a cable, you be as far away from home as possible, DAMHIK!)
-some small strong rope
-a can of Pledge to clean crap off the bike
-on a morbid but needed note, put your important info, name, next of kin, any passengers name or if you are solo, on a luggage tag and strap this to you handle bars every morning before you start the ride, then take it off when you stop each day. If you are injured, or maybe ejected from the bike and are laying in a ditch, rescuers will know who you are and how many people they are looking for. and keep your Driver's license on your person ,(not stored in on the bike) for the same reasons as above.
-Take your time and enjoy!

Before you get started, lay out your route.
then get you anonymous book and see if any dealer are along your route.
then check the town along the route for member listing.
This will give you a heads up if something goes wrong.

It is a jumper that plugs into a connector under your left battery cover. BMW calls it a contact ring:

61 13 1 459 504 CONTACT RING $7.90

When inserted, it tells the fuel injection computer to inject less fuel. It is recommended to install it at above 4000 ft. The air is thinner there so you need less fuel to maintain the proper air/ fuel ratio. These bikes do not have oxygen sensors or any other way to tell if they are running too rich.

Above 4000 ft install plug. Below 4000 ft remove plug. Those of us that regularly ride multiple mountain passes snip the wire loop on the end of the altitude plug and splice in some wire and a switch. That way you don't have to stop to fiddle with the plug.
